Bone Mineral Density and Trabecular Bone Score in Postmenopausal Women with Lumbar Spine Osteoporosis

Background: Spine osteoporosis is a common case in postmenopausal women. Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) is a specific bone texture extent that can be extracted from DEXA images and will be support data in raising trabecular bone condition for this sample of people. Objective: To determine the association between BMD and TBS values in spine osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Methods: Spine BMD and TBS were conducted for 348 postmenopausal women; the participation samples were divided into three groups (116 each). Group 1 represents women with severe spine osteoporosis; group 2 represents osteoporotic women with moderate spine osteoporosis; and group 3 represents healthy postmenopausal women matched for age with others. Results: The preponderance of the patients had partially degraded (-9.72) and highly degraded microarchitecture (-14.36) in TBS. The BMD (0.792 and 0.829) significantly decreased and adjusted TBS values (1.27 and 1.33) in cases groups compared with control respectively. A significant diminution was found in group case 1 (-3.7) and case group 2 (-2.6) in T-score compared to healthy spine density. Conclusions: When menopausal women have low BMD in the lumbar-sacral spine and low TBS values, this indicates that osteoporosis has a low crest mass in the bone. TBS was also shown to be strongly linked with decreasing bone density in the lower back region, indicating a favorable relationship between this indicator and decreased bone mass in postmenopausal women.

Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) is a specific bone texture extent that can be extracted from DEXA images and will be support data in raising trabecular bone condition for this sample of people. Objective: To determine the association between BMD and TBS values in spine osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

Group 1 represents women with severe spine osteoporosis; group 2 represents osteoporotic women with moderate spine osteoporosis; and group 3 represents healthy postmenopausal women matched for age with others. Results: The preponderance of the patients had partially degraded (-9.72) and highly degraded microarchitecture (-14.36) in TBS. The BMD (0.792 and 0.829) significantly decreased and adjusted TBS values (1.27 and 1.33) in cases groups compared with control respectively.
